Saturday Night at Pacific Raceways saw race number 11 in the 13 race series unfold with lots of close racing. The action included the crowning of the National Dragster Challenge Winners in Sportsman and Super Pro as only these classes were not completed the previous week. Sportsman winner Gene Furman defeated former Division Champ Gordon Cady Jr. while in Super Pro Tim Pettit was declared the winner by default; as fellow finalist Don Sefton was unable to attend the event.
A lengthy near hour long “oil down” and cleanup in the early stages of the first round of eliminations, meant time lost to complete the event. As a result eliminations were not completed. The only winners were those previously mentioned for the National Dragster Challenge.
